Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A mobile communication terminal comprising: a first body; a second body coupled to the first body such that the second body moves relative to the first body to configure the mobile communication terminal into an open configuration or a closed configuration, wherein a lower surface of the first body covers an upper surface of the second body when the mobile communication terminal is in the closed configuration; and an aromatic unit adapted to emanate a fragrance and positioned at a mounting location on the upper surface of the second body such that the aromatic unit is not exposed when the mobile communication terminal is in the closed configuration, wherein the aromatic unit comprises: a sealing member comprising an elastic material and configured into a closed curve shape such that an interior is formed with an opening facing the lower surface of the first body in order to receive an aromatic material, and a fragrance-emanating member comprising the aromatic material disposed inside the interior of the sealing member, wherein the sealing member protrudes from the upper surface of the second body such that the lower surface of the first body presses the sealing member to seal the interior of the sealing member when the mobile communication terminal is in the closed configuration, wherein the first body substantially overlaps the second body to cover the opening when the mobile communication terminal is in the closed configuration and the first body partially overlaps the second body to expose the opening when the mobile communication terminal is in the open configuration, and wherein the aromatic unit is adapted to be detachable from the mounting location.
2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic unit is located on the second body relative to the first body such that the aromatic unit is in close proximity to a user's nose when the mobile communication terminal is in the open configuration and the user is using the mobile communication terminal for a call communication.
3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic unit is located at a midpoint that is substantially equidistant between left and right sides of at least one of the first body or second body.
4. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic unit is exposed partially when the mobile communication terminal is in the open configuration.
5. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the aromatic unit is exposed completely when the mobile communication terminal is in the open configuration.
6. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the sealing member attaches to the lower surface of the first body when the mobile communication terminal is in the closed configuration.
7. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance-emanating member comprises a pad including the aromatic material.
8. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the fragrance-emanating member is partially exposed when the mobile communication terminal is in the open configuration.
9. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication terminal is a folder-type, a slide-type or a swing-type.
